mystyle: Spoiled Pretty
Thu., Apr. 16, 2009 5:08 PM PDT by Sydne Summer
At mystyle, we love talking to celebs to find out how they stay looking fabulous. But we're also interested in the secrets of those who write about fashion and beauty on a daily basis: our fellow bloggers. To start off this new weekly feature, mystyle caught up with beauty babe Daneen Baird of Spoiled Pretty.
Reading Spoiled Pretty feels like dishing about beauty with your sassy BFF. Except this bestie is a beauty expert named Daneen Baird, who offers fab advice, from what products are haute and not to video tutorials on chiseled cheekbones and clip-in hair extensions.
The founder and editor-in-chief describes her style as "classic and comfortable, with a pinch of preppy." Like mystyle, she's always on the hunt for a great fashion deal and heads to Forever 21 whenever she wants something über-trendy. But when it comes to beauty, the Philadelphia native loves it all. "As a beauty junkie, this question pains me," she replies when asked to name her favorite products. "It's like asking a mother to name her favorite child."
However, Daneen has no qualms about revealing her celebrity girl crush. "If there was a Face/Off type situation and I had to swap mugs with someone, Kim [Kardashian] would be high on my list—primarily because I can't get enough of the way she wears a nude lip," Daneen explains. "Aside from Angelina, nobody does it better."
A self-described "cosmetic connoisseur," Daneen totes around more makeup then most people even own. Keep reading to hear (and shop!) what's inside her massive carryall and to learn more of Spoiled Pretty's secrets.

What's in your makeup bag right now?
My makeup bag isn't your average makeup bag. It's supersized, which is why I always carry a big handbag. Currently taking up residence in my cosmetics case are: MAC Plushglass in Fulfilled, MAC Lustreglass in Love Nectar, MAC Lipglass in Instant Gold, Chanel Aqualumière Gloss in Cherry Blossom, Phytospecific Moisturizing Styling Balm, Benefit CORALista blush, EcoTools Blush Brush, Blinc Mascara, the ZannClip, a full-sized bottle of Prada Infusion d'Iris and an atomizer of Hanae Mori Butterfly perfume.
If you could only bring three beauty products with you on vacation, which would you choose?
As a beauty junkie, this question pains me. It's like asking a mother to name her favorite child. But if I had to choose, I'd take John Masters Organics Blood Orange & Vanilla Body Wash and Body Milk. They smell delish, like orange creamsicles, and I'm currently obsessed with them. They're a duo, so let's just cheat a little and count them as one. Schick's new Quattro For Women TrimStyle Razor & Bikini Trimmer is also a necessity. I mean, this is vacay, not an episode of Survivor. Finally, I would pack Just A Pinch Gel Blush, from MAC's upcoming Rose Romance collection. It does double duty, giving cheeks a dewy blush and tinting the lips in transparent color.
